I nodded. “I want this to be the final link that holds our family together. One day when Seth and I have children I want to honestly tell them that I think of their grandfather as a father of my own. I don’t want this family to hold on to any animosity towards each other again.”
James had tears in his eyes. He reached over and took one of my hands and said, “I’ve been bestowed with a lot of honors in my life… most of which I didn’t deserve. I’m not sure that I deserve this one, but I can promise you that I’m going to do whatever it takes for the rest of my life making sure that your dreams for this family come true. If it weren’t for you, this family would likely not even exist at this point. Sometimes, maybe to just assuage my own guilt, I like to think that maybe when I was wreaking havoc in people’s lives… this was the infinite plan all along. I would be honored to walk you down the aisle Adele. Thank you so much.”

Now here we were at last and when we reached the aisle he lifted my small veil and kissed my cheek. “I love you, Adele. I would say welcome to the family, but it wasn’t a family before you got here.”
I had tears in my eyes now, threatening to ruin my make-up. I kissed his cheek and said, “I love you too. Thank you for making this amazing son for me to love.” He looked at Seth then and smiled.
“Thank God for DNA and his mother,” he said. He clapped his son on the back and then he took his seat. I was finally standing at the altar with the man of my dreams and I knew in my heart that from this point on we could face anything together.
Laying my hand once more across my still flat stomach I thought, “Together, as a family, we’ll be whole.”
